Memories of Paris ❤

A number of years ago, we, that is my husband and I went on a road trip in our T5 Campervan down into the heart of France.  Namely Paris,the City of Love,  although we did visit other locations, such as Versailles and Font en Bleur just south West of Paris.  And it's such a beautiful place for interior design inspiration.  

Parisian style is about embracing effortless sophistication, and the sentiment of romantic continuity.  

Just watch Emily in Paris, the Streaming TV show and it will help you transform to the urban scroll of city living or the hit show: Versailles or the film of Marie Antoinette to get a flavour of the historic charisma of life in high society. 

It just gets me every time 💗, maybe I'm an old romantic at heart, or just that I love; love, but for me the memories of Paris, help to believe that the Parisian interior design style is one for timeless elegance.  

If you're planning a trip over to France soon, then there are a few Museums, interior design related of course, you could look to visit:
1, Antique Lighting Museum 
2, Arts & Industry Museum 
3, Belmondo Museum- Sculptors 
4, Bourse de Commerce-Pinault Collection 
5, Cartier Foundation-Contemporary Art
6, Carnavalet Museum-Parisian History 
7, Dalí Paris- Surrealism
8, Jacquemart-André Museum-Home for collectors 
9, Jean-Jacques Henner National Museum-History of mansion & a painter 
10, Le Corbusier Foundation- Architecture 

There are many more to explore depending on your mues, oh and The Museum of Decorative Arts is a must, just around the corner from Jardin des Tuileries and the River Seine. 

If you're interested in learning more about the Characteristics of Parisian interior design style then take a look at our Social Media pages today as we delve deeper into how you can create the look yourself at home or with the help of an interior designer like me. Hey, I've been and got the metaphorical T-shirt, so to speak. Or should I say the Béret. Oooh lala.

A Blog about Blogs

I started this blog back in February, and every week without fail I've shared a blog a week.  It was in the hope that other interior designers, students or home interior lovers found it of use and I thought it would be a great time coming up to the half year point to stop and reflect.  Reflect on what's working, what do you want to read more about or indeed, what I have yet to explore.  As a business owner or freelancer building a following can & does take time & effort and as Country Interior Design by MJ is coming up to our 6 month review it's poignant to pause and check in with ourselves & you the most important aspect as to why we are doing this.  We have been sharing content of inspiration on Facebook and Instagram from the start with a clear weekly schedule: Mondays  Devine or Decadence  Tuesday  History of interior design  Wednesday  Feb 26: Room of Ferial August 26: Shine a light Thursday  Colour Psychology  Frid...
